Abstract
Callus cultures were derived from different parts of 8 anthocyanin producing and 2 white flowering lines of the crucifer Matthiola incana. The tissue cultures of the cyanic lines were shown to produce genotype specific anthocyanin patterns, whereas in the calli of the acyanic lines no anthocyanin synthesis occured.
